a Japanese music variety show on Fuji Television hosted by the comedy duo Downtown, which consists of Hitoshi Matsumoto and Masatoshi Hamada. It is a very popular show with comical hosts who like to pick on their guests. An episode usually consists of live performances (of recently released songs) from popular artists, chat segments and other fun and games.

Just in case you or others haven't seen Hamada's recording of "Chicken Rice" (with English subs).

Oh yeah, I know the song, it was just a shame that the brand sponsoring and credits were running when everyone sang together I mean.It was sung beautifully! I don't think I've ever seen Matsumoto sing it either. Ah, and thanks Zauchi for the d-addicts link!

In the single, the B side is the music with Matsumoto's voice. But he's not singing, he just talk. I love this song.
